I think it is important to note too that he chooses his patients carefully. I would not be a candidate for his procedure. The surgeon that did my cervical fusion told me Jho would never consider me because he is very statistic conscious as most of them are, but Jho more so. I was warned by other medical professionals that know him not to use him and steered clear. I was also told by one surgeon that there are people that studied with him and for some reason cannot duplicate the success he claims with his procedures. I think if you had a great outcome with him and are happy that is wonderful, but I went with a traditional fusion and had a good outcome too and happy that I went that route as well. I hope you both continue to do well. I have heard too that if you have problems it is difficult to have any follow-up care with him. True? I do not know...I just know I experienced poor post-op care with my first lumbar surgery and did not want to go through that again with the cervical spine.
